Call for Outdoor Sculptures

The City of Cape Girardeau Public Art Committee is now accepting submissions from qualified sculptors to participate in the 2019 - 2020 Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition. Now in it’s 6th year, the location of the exhibition will be along the Broadway Corridor, a nine-block span in downtown Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Cape is also home to locally owned businesses that bring flavor and matchless experiences. Places such as the city hall, the federal courthouse, Southeast Missouri State University, the Marquette Tech District and Media Row are also found in Cape Girardeau’s Downtown.

The Public Art Exhibition has been identified as yet another dynamic revitalization strategy to elevate the arts community within the region, as confirmed by the success of the past four years of exhibits. Missouri Main Street Connection has named the exhibit a finalist and semi-finalist for two State Awards in 2015 and 2016. We have also sold a piece that is now on permanent display on Broadway, and in 2017 a piece was donated to the Public Art Committee to provide an opportunity to raise funds to grow public art in Cape!
